You need to make sure you have the proper nutrients in your diet to ensure healthy skin, nails, hair... and well, body. Vitamin deficiences are a common cause of weak spots in nails as is *protein* deficiency. Some people start eating a vegetarian diet and fail to include adequate sources of protein and vitamins... If you're eating primarily pasta or something that could be the cause. Examine your diet and see if you're lacking in vegetables, fruits, etc. Beans, Tofu, and Seitan are fantastic sources of protein.Do you need gelatin for healthy nails?
Gelitan is good for your nails and hair actually and you can buy gelitian tabs at your local health food store or walmart or drug store.
The gelatin thing is an old myth, has been totally debunked...does nothing. See the website below for an article on nail health. There are also other articles on the web, just enter ';fingernals, health.';
I have the world's best fingernails, I'm a guy, and I'm a lacto vegetarian. You can do it too. Are you eating a balanced diet?
You can get the nutrients other ways like getting calcium and potassium. BANANAS, AND MILK (or SOY MILK!)
